booth at the flower festival to begin in
Los Angeles on the 18th Of April We
trust they will find the movement en-

No place produces more beautiful fiowl

a question of quantity. However. it is
not necessary to have the department
large. Let the collection be choice and
the arrangements tasteful. This will
be sufficient. Persons willing to assist,

a Hala.Headed hodge.

A special train from Los Angeles
passed through Sacramento yesterdy,
having eight carloads of oranges. They
were destined for the East, and the en-.
terprising northern citrus belt boomers
have telegraphed the fact throughout
the country that eight carloads of
oranges had left there, but the dispatch
failed to state that the northern citrus
belt was trying to steal little thunder
at the expense Of its southern neighbors.
This is about as bald-headed an adver-
tising dodge - was ever attempted. The
writer Of this was in Sacramento few
days ago. and he searched the city over
for northern-grown orange. He could
find plenty of oranges, but they were all
from well-known Los Angeles and San
Bernardino orchards. The buckle must
be badly worn on the northern citrus
belt when it resorts to such subterfuge
TO secure hold on the inpouring immi
gration.-(Fresno Expositor.

imbued with progressive ideas and an
euterprising spirit. If he owns the
water he il reported as owning, an era
of development will commence in the
neiQhborhood at the door of San Ber-
nardino which will throw all previous
colonizing projects far into the shade.

the superlative of all California fruit.
With the immense development going on
IN Redlands, Lugonia, Grafton, River
side, South Riverside and the central
San Bernardino valley, it only remains
to inaugurate the development of the
great plain extending from Slower mount
Gin 10 the Cajon pass, and from the sub.
urbs of this city TO Cucamonga, to en.
circle the city Of San Bsrnardino by the
largest and richest citrus belt tributary
to any town in California. What has
become of the talk about a reaction! So
far from a reaction being possible, the
era of industrial development is merely
in its roseate dawn.-[San Bernardino
